GrahamTek is an international company actively involved
in the development, commercialization, manufacturing, marketing,
selling and distribution of its technology in Desalination
and Filtration with advanced products for the treatment of
water.

Assembly of 16" RO |
| GrahamTek Systems , a
South African privately owned company in alliance with
GrahamTek Singapore Pte Ltd, forms a joint international
group that devotes its efforts to the development and
provision of clean and healthy water to the world.
GrahamTek has been actively involved in the market
since 1998 in manufacturing, marketing and distribution
of innovative environmentally friendly, almost chemical
free and energy efficient Filtration and Desalination
Water treatment systems . These are capable of providing
world markets with affordable, high quality water,
via technology that outperforms conventional membrane
separation systems.
GrahamTek™ has successfully developed its global
market by formation of strategic alliances which have
assisted the company in establishing infrastructure
that respond to the global demand for the needs of
water in a professional and effective way.

| A Consortium of leading
RO membrane manufacturers and suppliers in the last
2 years, have, as a result of their joint cooperation
into future advances in RO technology, recommended that
the future industry standard optimal membrane size should
be a 16-inch diameter element. This was the unanimous
conclusion reached by the Consortium as a result of
extensive field testing and consideration of economic
and financial imperatives.
The Consortium recommendations were presented in
2005-2006. The key summary findings are presented
here in the attached pdf file and are reprinted with
the permission of "Water Desalination Report
and Global Water Intelligence". They are also
available as a hard copy in the IDA Desalination Yearbook
2006-2007.
For some years prior to the establishment of this
Consortium GrahamTek had already chosen "16-inch"
as the likely most optimal size to achieve more cost
effective results in water treatment. GrahamTek's
technology has therefore always been based on, and
developed with, 16-inch diameter membranes as the
base unit of RO operation. The findings of the Consortium
(which did not include GrahamTek) have confirmed GrahamTek's
belief in the viability of a 16-inch based system

| In a meeting
held in Singapore in April 2006, the GrahamTek Scientific
Program was initiated. The objective of the Program is not
to prove that GrahamTek technology works, but,
a) to demonstrate conclusively why it works so well;
b) simultaneously explore optimizing the various elements
of the technology. |

The Super-Flux Pilot Plant was commissioned on the 10 Aug
06 and 12 nos. Hydranautics brackish elements fitted with
GrahamTek Flow Distributors were tested successfully over
1446 hrs. |
